The repository incorporates multiple external systems that have their own associated files and directories. For the most part, these do not need to be edited. The most important directories for development are /src/, /tests/, and /docs/, which contain source files, unit testing files, and documentation, respectively. There are also multiple Godot project files that are important for development, but these are best used through the Godot Editor.
For instructions on setting up the development environment on a Windows computer, see /docs/windows_dev_env_setup_guide.md.

└──...In order to export the project as a whole, first all the platforms that will be exported need to have the gdextesion built. To do this, execute the following command for each of the desired target platforms:
scons platform=<PLATFORM> target=template_releaseNote: If you're building for a platform that is not the platform you're building on, there may be some extra cross compiling steps needed. In the godot building documentation there's some information about this. Beyond what's provided there, for windows the simplest way to build linux seems to be with WSL.
Then opening the project in the editor, go to Project>Editor and there are the currently available presets. From there, you can either export all presets or export a specific preset using "Export All..." or "Export Project..." respectively. The default export path points to the build/ folder. When godot exports it will output both the main executable for the respective platform, as well as the necessary gdextension library file.
